Amazing SMASH!2022

Weekend experience at Manga & Anime convention

Thank you for my workshop participants at SMASH!2022!
With your participation, my first Sydney Manga and Anime Show went very well.

When the organiser contacted me if I’m interested in running Origami Workshop at Darling Harbour Convention Centre, I immediately said, “Sure!”
But I’ve never imagined that there was a very different world in Sydney. WOW
Fantastic cosplayers were everywhere. Beautiful girls and charming girls, handsome boys and unidentified unique characters.
Many manga & anime artists had booths and there were many manga goods on the tables.

Vibe, Vibe, Vibe, Vibe!

20,000 tickets were sold out 2-3 weeks before the event!
They must be looking forward to it very much. Me, too!
Great atmosphere.

Thank you for my origami workshop visitors.
It was nice meeting you all.

Fold with Love – Mother’s day workshop

We made origami flowers and put LED tea lights inside.

The LED lights don’t get hot, so it is safe to use with origami.

My special LED lights changes colours. Fantastic!! I am sure all the mothers would love the handmade gifts from their children.
